    Hello,
    my name is David and I am here on this site to get more information.
    I've watched the great porn experiment on youtube (as many of you probably have had) and
    I don't think I am a porn addict, I'm jsut wondering if there is a difference between masturbating to porn and every other way of getting pleasure.

    The point of my thread is that I still would like to try and test myself for how long I'll be able to hold it.

    My main question line is:
    - is it OK to masturbate to fantasies? (in a way of; is there a difference in watching porn and pleasure dreaming?)
    - is it OK to have sex with my girlfriend?
    - since I believe I can quit it anytime (I don't want to give up on sex life through and through FYI), I am wondering if there is an actual reason to go down this road?

    The reason I am here is (as I said above) to get more information, but most importantly to explore the option, because who knows, I might be a porn addict and I just don't know it :)

    Thank you in advance for you responses.

    Welcome :cool:

    If that's what you want. It depends what you want in your life. I'd say it sure as hell beats porn at least, could be good exercise for the imagination

    Probably. As long as you don't need pills to get the job done, you're probably fine. Again, it depends what you want in your life

    Even if you're only avoiding porn, yeah, I think it's worthwhile. Even if you're only doing it to exercise your will power. It's worth a try at least


    Good luck :D

    Welcome!

    To your question about why to go down this road, maybe one reason would be to test your statement that you can quit anytime. If that statement is correct, you should be able to go a month or more without PMO with no problem. If not, you may have an addiction. It may be an addiction like some are addicted to smoking--like an annoying habit. For me, it was more like a narcotic addiction, something that took over my life. Hope you find what you're looking for~
